Still going strong...

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted...Beau is still doing really well.  He had to have a blood and platelet transfusion on Saturday which is pretty normal during strong chemo treatments.  It's a pretty long process and tends to take up most of the day which I know is frustrating for Beau.  Jessica's parents visited this weekend and they had a good time.  
Beau will be getting some scans done tomorrow (Wednesday) to keep tabs on everything and he will be meeting with Dr. Benjamin again on Thursday.  His 5th round of chemo is scheduled to begin on Wednesday the 20th.  Please keep him in your prayers and hopefully this 5th round will go as smoothly as the last one.  

Many of you who know our family personally, know what we are going through in addition to Beau's cancer.  For those of you who don't...we are in the second day of the trial for the man accused of murdering Beau's aunt Jenny Slocumb Ewing on July 25, 2006.  We have been waiting a long time for this trial to come about and it's hard for Beau and mom to be out in Houston while the rest of us are here re-living this tragedy.  Please add this to your prayer list as well...

Thanks for all the prayers and support and please continue to pray for and encourage Beau!  He's almost done!

Maggie, thank you for all you do to keep us all connected. We continue to lift Beau & your family in prayer. It is so hard to watch the trail, I can only imagine how hard it is for your family.
